“Freak folk” sister act CocoRosie released their previous three LPs with Touch and Go Records, but seeing as the label downsized last year and stopped releasing new material, CocoRosie was left without a label to call home. Yesterday, news arose that the legendary Sub Pop label has signed sisters Bianca and Sierra Casady and will release their forthcoming album Grey Oceans on May 11.
While CocoRosie have released a few singles and EPs in the past several years, Grey Oceans will serve as a proper follow up to 2007’s The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn, which was punctuated with hip-hop beats and lusher psychedelic influences, a departure from the minimalism found on their earlier albums, Noah’s Ark and La maison de mon rêve.
Not much in the way of information has been released yet, but at least we have the track list:
Grey Oceans
Trinity’s Crying
Smokey Taboo
Hopscotch
Undertaker

R.I.P. Burn Face
